Beginning 2009, Charlotte Water implemented a Capacity
Assurance Program (CAP). This Program evaluates the impact of new development
as well as redevelopment on our sanitary sewer system. Our engineers review the
capacity of our system from point of connection through the local gravity
system, through trunk lines and eventually to our wastewater treatment plants. Once a review is completed and a sanitary
sewer connection is approved, sanitary sewer capacity is reserved up to
12-months or when the connection/tapping fee was paid (whichever is sooner).
Over the past year, Charlotte Water has received input from
the development community on how to improve our Program and better align with
the development time frame from conception to completion.
Charlotte Water will
now be reserving capacity for approved connections/applications for 24-months.
This 24-month reservation is effective for approvals provided on or after
1/1/2017. There will be no expiring capacity reservations for 2018.
The extension is automatic; applicants with expirations
originally dated for 2018 will receive an automatic 12-month extension. If
approval was granted in 2017, applicants need to have their tap fees by their
month date in their acceptance letter in 2019.
Reservation of sanitary sewer system capacity through the
Charlotte Water’s Capacity Assurance Program is the responsibility of the
customer/development. Contact the New Services Group at (704) 432-2854 for further information on reserving capacity
up to 24 months.
Charlotte Water encourages the development community to
contact our staff to discuss potential projects-- even as early as conception. If
a development is not ready to reserve capacity, our engineers can perform a
similar review of our sanitary sewer system through our Willingness to Serve
applications. Our New Services Staff can
assist and direct you through the appropriate information requirements: (704)
432-2854.
